While casual browsing and weighing my options, looks like Tech Enclave has become final resting point for digitians. But then isn't it something we were all expecting!!!???:|

Yes, this was bound to happen. We have to find another good forum for our needs, as TDF has many bugs nowadays. And the forum also keeps on going down.

BTW, yesterday I was pissed off at techenclave also. Somebody deleted my whole post started in Guides & tutorials section. I think some mod did it, but y? Woithout any warning, they did this. I never faced this type of problem here. If this will happen again, then I'll leave techenclave :(

Yuck. I wanted to register to TE but they don't allow my full user name.

I am MHG everywhere. There, I can only be MetalheadGautha. The final m is missing because of character limit.

Someone ask their admins to remove this limit and I'll join in :D.
Lemme see how good TE really is.

Type MetalheadGautham in google search and see the number of results.
Right from the days of being UBER NOOB asking dumb things online I have been MetalheadGautham.

Any forum I register into I am MetalheadGautham.

And now how can I change it to MHG just for TE ? :-x

admins are off herre.

and now there are few mods also..

TDF is going down and we are the few rats on this sinking boat..

and to make things worst ... they have started spamming thier members with nonsense stuff..

and also they are starting new category on this forum , as if everyone is interested in ..


i think it all started with banning prak... then after .. everything went horribly wrong..

all i fear is .. TDF has got the best threads ... solutions , .. and if TDF goes down.. all these great threads will go down too.. like say science Vs god thread... and mac problem thread ... aother good threads...

As far as forum issues are concerned, I guess you will have to wait a little more.
We are moving to new servers and that will take some time.

As a webmaster, Its only far if I say I respect ads. My blog has no ads (it can't have them either) but you have to think about high volume websites which get huge traffic. How do you expect them to survive ?

Raaabo was on IRC the other day and he was discussing about this new server TDF is considering which costs 1000$ (USD) per month to maintain.

Thats Rs. 50,000 per month to you. How do you expect the forum to raise this kind of money ? Do you think money grows on trees ? The only way out for them is ads. And even these ads are often not enough to obtain enough money. They only cover a fraction of the total costs.

As far as digit is concerned, the forum becomes a sort of Public Relations hunting ground and publicity area for 9dot9 Media and the benifits they get out of this is accounted for by the costs involved to maintain a forum. Even then, in these times of recession, the benifits are only minimal.

Now imagine an independant forum run by no company but a group of like minded individuals. Where do they go ? Ads ? Donations ? Paid Reviews ? Even all of these only *just* sustain the forum.

Once you get to the economics, you will see that ads definitely matter. Unless you want TDF to be a paid forum where you need to pay a monthly Rs. 100 to keep membership.

You took me in a wrong sense. I don't mind having ads in the TE forum. I just wanted to highlight what I have seen.

I just wanted to tell that this is the first forum where I have registered and a sort of love has grown within me for this forum. Therefore I don't want to leave the forum. And the reason for me not moving to TE is just not the ads there, it's just my urge to continue in this forum. I am just hoping for the best.

So you are a senior member there ? Great. Can you petition them to allow people to add ONE more character to their name ? Just one character extra from current limit and I become MetalheadGautham instead of current MetalheadGautha :evil:
